2015-01-01maint: update all copyright year number rangesPádraig Brady
Run "make update-copyright" and then... * tests/sample-test: Adjust to use the single most recent year. * tests/du/bind-mount-dir-cycle-v2.sh: Fix case in copyright message, so that year is updated automatically in future.
2014-09-19doc: output correct --help references with --program-prefixPádraig Brady
* src/system.h (emit_ancillary_info): Take the invariant PROGRAM_NAME as a parameter, so that consistent references are made to online docs and texinfo nodes, when a --program-prefix is in place. Note the man pages don't need this fix as they're generated before the program prefix is used. * NEWS: Mention the improvements in references to online documentation.

(main): Use it. * src/logname.c, src/nohup.c, src/whoami.c: Use 'error' to simplify exit status in 'main' function. * src/yes.c (main): Use 'return' rather than 'error' to exit, so that GCC doesn't suggest ATTRIBUTE_NORETURN.
2014-04-10maint: avoid static analysis warnings in ln.cPádraig Brady
* src/ln.c (do_link): It's not obvious that record_file() is a noop in the symlink case (in that case dest_set is NULL and so ignored). So to make it obvious, and to avoid false positives seen in coverity, add the explicit condition here.
2014-03-13ln: with -sr, don't segfault for a TARGET of ''Jim Meyering
Prior to this change, "ln -sr '' F" would segfault, attempting to read path2[1] in relpath.c's path_common_prefix function. This problem arises whenever canonicalize_filename_mode returns NULL. * src/ln.c (convert_abs_rel): Call relpath only when both canonicalize_filename_mode calls return non-NULL. * tests/ln/relative.sh: Add a test to trigger this failure. * THANKS.in: List reporter's name/address. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. Reported by Erik Bernstein in 739752@bugs.debian.org. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/17010.
2014-01-17ln: fix replacing symbolic links whose targets can't existPádraig Brady
* src/ln.c (errno_nonexisting): A new function to determine if the errno implies that a file doesn't or can't (currently) exist. (target_directory_operand): Use the new function to expand the set of errors we handle. * tests/ln/sf-1.sh: Add test cases for the newly handled errors. * THANKS.in: Mention the reporter. * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
2014-01-02maint: update all copyright year number rangesBernhard Voelker
Run "make update-copyright", but then also run this, perl -pi -e 's/2\d\d\d-//' tests/sample-test to make that one script use the single most recent year number.
2013-04-04ln: --relative: fix updating of existing symlinksRémy Lefevre
Don't dereference an existing symlink being replaced. I.E. generate the symlink relative to the symlink's containing dir, rather than to some arbitrary place it points to. * src/ln.c (convert_abs_rel): Don't consider the final component of the symlink name when canonicalizing, as we want to avoid dereferencing the final component. * tests/ln/relative.sh: Add a test case. * NEWS: Mention the fix. Resolves http://bugs.gnu.org/14116
2013-02-06maint: improve error messages upon failed read, write, access, closeBenno Schulenberg
Note we use "failed to {access,close}" for those single operations, and "error {read,writ}ing" for those partial operation failures. * src/copy.c: Improve error messages for failing read, write and close. * src/cp.c: Improve error messages for failing access. * src/dd.c: Improve error messages for failing read, write and open. * src/head.c: Improve error message for failing close. * src/install.c: Improve error messages for failing access. * src/ln.c: Likewise. * src/mv.c: Likewise. * src/touch.c: Improve error message for failing close. * src/truncate.c: Likewise.
2013-01-23maint: define usage note about mandatory args centrallyBernhard Voelker
Each program with at least one long option which is marked as 'required_argument' and which has also a short option for that option, should print a note about mandatory arguments. Define that well-known note centrally and use it rather than literal printf/fputs, and add it where it was missing. * src/system.h (emit_mandatory_arg_note): Add new function. * src/cp.c (usage): Use it rather than literal printf/fputs. * src/csplit.c, src/cut.c, src/date.c, src/df.c, src/du.c: * src/expand.c, src/fmt.c, src/fold.c, src/head.c, src/install.c: * src/kill.c, src/ln.c, src/ls.c, src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c: * src/mknod.c, src/mv.c, src/nl.c, src/od.c, src/paste.c: * src/pr.c, src/ptx.c, src/shred.c, src/shuf.c, src/sort.c: * src/split.c, src/stdbuf.c, src/tac.c, src/tail.c, src/timeout.c: * src/touch.c, src/truncate.c, src/unexpand.c, src/uniq.c: Likewise. * src/base64.c (usage): Add call of the above new function because at least one long option has a required argument. * src/basename.c, src/chcon.c, src/date.c, src/env.c: * src/nice.c, src/runcon.c, src/seq.c, src/stat.c, src/stty.c: Likewise.
2013-01-10doc: make a --help text fragment identical to three othersBenno Schulenberg
* src/ln.c (usage): Move a newline to the next text fragment, so the preceding fragment about backup methods becomes the same as the ones for cp, mv, and install. A bit easier for translators.
2013-01-01maint: update all copyright year number rangesJim Meyering
Run "make update-copyright", but then also run this, perl -pi -e 's/2\d\d\d-//' tests/sample-test to make that one script use the single most recent year number.
2012-03-22ln: add the --relative optionHarald Hoyer
With the "--relative --symbolic" options, ln computes the relative symbolic link for the user. So, ln works just as cp, but creates relative symbolic links instead of copying the file. I miss this feature since the beginning of using ln. $ tree ./ / `-- usr |-- bin `-- lib `-- foo `-- foo 4 directories, 1 file $ ln -s -v --relative usr/lib/foo/foo usr/bin/foo ‘usr/bin/foo’ -> ‘../lib/foo/foo’ $ tree ./ / `-- usr |-- bin | `-- foo -> ../lib/foo/foo `-- lib `-- foo `-- foo 4 directories, 2 files $ ln -s -v --relative usr/bin/foo usr/lib/foo/link-to-foo ‘usr/lib/foo/link-to-foo’ -> ‘foo’ $ tree ./ / `-- usr |-- bin | `-- foo -> ../lib/foo/foo `-- lib `-- foo |-- link-to-foo -> foo `-- foo 4 directories, 3 files * src/Makefile.am: Reference the relpath module. * src/ln.c (usage): Mention the new option. (do_link): Call the relative conversion if specified. (convert_abs_rel): Perform the relative conversion using the relpath module. * tests/ln/relative: Add a new test. * tests/Makefile.am: Reference the new test. * doc/coreutils.texi: Document the new feature. * NEWS: Mention the new feature.

2011-11-20ln: fix position of --backup values descriptionErik Auerswald
* src/ln.c (usage): A paragraph describing interactions of -s with -L and -P somehow snuck in between the description of the --backup option and the values used to control it. Fix this by moving the value description up.

* src/system.h: Rename emit_bug_reporting_address() to emit_ancillary_info() and update it to not print the translation project address in en_* locales, and _do_ print it in the 'C' (and other) locales so that it's included in the default man page. Also mention how to invoke the texinfo documentation for each command. Also move the "hard-locale.h" include to the 8 files that now use it. * man/help2man: Strip the newly added texinfo reference from the --help output as a more verbose version is already added by help2man. Suggestion from C de-Avillez
2009-09-04ln: add comments related to POSIX 2008Eric Blake
* src/ln.c (ENABLE_HARD_LINK_TO_SYMLINK_WARNING): Delete. (do_link): Update comments per POSIX; add FIXME for -L, -P.
